Abstract
ARAGONES CRUZ, Belmary and ALEMANY MARTORELL, Jaime. Predictive factors of primary pterygium recurrence. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2008, vol.21, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.
The successful treatment of pterygiyum is a permanent challenge to be met by ophthalmologists. This kind of therapy is purely surgical and a number of techniques have emerged to attain its systematic improvement, which are used in line with the particularities of every patient or those of the surgeon. Pterygiyum has a multifactor etiology, so it is very complex to select the most suitable technique to operate it. The present literature review was made to analyze predictive factors of pterygium recurrence such as genetic, histological, angiographic and morphological factors.
Keywords : Pterygium; relapse; prognosis; genetics; angiography; morphology.
